Actually, it came out when the cartridge and Models 57 and 58 did, and was considered THE standard cartridge for the .41 Magnum sixguns. Remember, the .41 Mag was designed and marketed primarily as a law enforcement weapon.
The jacketed soft- and hollow-point loadings were secondary, intended to make the new round appealing to sportsmen, hopefully expanding the .41's appeal and in hopes of selling more guns.
